The implications of a land value tax on urban agglomeration dynamics: Efficiency and equity
Cities have become widely recognised as pivotal hubs for economic growth, with continued evidence of productivity gains from density and proximity of agglomerations. However, the same externalities of dense urban agglomerations exert pressures on the built environments and are partially responsible for a deepening urban crisis (e.g., increasing wealth disparities, housing crisis), harming both equity and efficiency. While Land Value Taxation (LVT…
Teaching regions: Do we need a regional pedagogy or a pedagogy of regions
This paper opens the first-ever debate about pedagogies and curricula in regional studies. It does this from four perspectives: how regional studies creates powerful knowledge; how regional thinking can be embedded within school education and curriculum design; the provision training to the next generation of regional scholars; and the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and assessing regional studies. We conclude with a…
The Fourth Italy: A contemporary account of the Italian economic geography
We update Bagnasco’s work on the Third Italy and its interpretative model of Italy’s economic geography adding a Fourth Italy to the existing taxonomy of productive systems. This new conceptual model frames the emergence of Italian Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) of start-ups in several cities. We describe their characteristics, localization, and institutional patterns. The Fourth Italy and its cognitive capitalist production highlights some sit…
Are shared workspaces a new form of social infrastructure
This article discusses the delivery of shared workspaces as a new type of social infrastructure. Planning tools for the delivery and longer-term maintenance of these spaces are still on trial. We examine a selection of cases in Europe highlighting the social value generated and the delivery mechanisms used. In both cases, shared workspaces can deliver social infrastructure benefits if they are embedded within a wider strategic regenerative vision…

Coastal towns as ‘left-behind places’: Economy, environment and planning
Many coastal towns in England face a unique set of overlapping challenges: a longstanding socio-economic stagnation and environmental threats coming from the physical location. This paper examines coastal communities in the context of the left-behind debate. The consequences of de-industrialisation and failures in public policies recall other left-behind geographies. We look at a selection of case studies, apparently dealing with the decline of t…
The future of the corporate office? Emerging trends in the post-Covid city
Part of an ongoing longitudinal study, this article provides evidence on the emerging impacts of Covid-19 on the demand for, configuration and role of offices in cities, drawing on primary data from semi-structured interviews with UK-based corporate real estate managers. The research is grounded on a ‘theory of change’ framework combining real estate, institutional economics and economic geography literature. Our findings confirm an acceleration …
Planning for residential ‘value’? London’s densification policies and impacts
This paper considers the agency and influence of planning processes and densification policies on urban landscapes in London. Urban transformation through residential densification can bring opportunities for real estate development, combined with longer term investment and financial gains for local authorities through planning gain. However, the measurements and indicators used to define density and its impacts could be better understood both ob…
